Factory Farm’s Cruelty Caught
PETA uncovers torture in West Virginia.
November 21, 2008
A newly released two-month PETA investigation reveals horrific cruelty at the self-touted world leader in poultry breeding, Aviagen Turkeys, Inc. The investigation, which took place in a variety of factory farms owned by the company in West Virginia, showed workers disobeying factory regulations by torturing and maliciously killing turkeys. When reporting the sickening behavior to supervisors, the undercover investigator was told, “Every once in a while, everybody gets agitated and has to kill a bird.” This mediocre reaction preceded new regulations for workers, according to reports. Along with adopting a vegetarian diet, PETA is urging the public to write the National Turkey Federation.
